Can I make VASI lights brighter from cockpit view?

Featured Replies

Hi all,Probably been asked before but, here goes:-I find that I can hardly see runway VASI lights during daytime at all from the cockpit view of the 172. If I use 'w' to remove the panel then the VASI lights are very bright. I noticed using Dreamfleet's Archer that they ARE visible from inside the cockpit of that airplane, so maybe they did something to the config file? I notice that the aircraft.cfg files do have a section on lighting, but I don't know how to set the parameters for that. Anyone help?Cheers,Marco.

I also would like an answer to this question -- I also find that at some airports, the VASIs are very bright while at others they are very dull. Also at some airports (mainly the bright ones) the VASIs work as they should - 4 reds got to 3 reds and 1 white goes to 2 reds and 2 whites , etc -- but other airports go from 4 whites to 4 reds instantaneously!!!
